"Building a Local Food System for York County" is the topic when Rob Wood of Spoutwood Farms in Glen Rock, Pa., speaks at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 14, at Penn State York. The free program, sponsored by the Penn State York Agricultural Science Club, is in the Community Room of the Joe and Rosie Ruhl Student Community Center and is open to the public. The Agricultural Science Club invites speakers to the campus to talk about topics related to animals and farming.
Wood will discuss the differences between locally grown organic crops and those that are imported to the supermarket. Most of our food usually comes from California or Florida, but increasingly it is imported from China, Mexico and even South America, South Africa, or New Zealand. The average fruit or vegetable travels about 1,500 miles to reach your plate with less than 1 percent of food coming from York Country Resources.
